Although the Cayman Islands enjoy year round sunshine and a temperate climate, this benefit is eclipsed in most people's eyes by the Islands' offshore status.

The Cayman Islands are well known as a financial centre on the world's stage and provide the highest quality of lifestyle available in a tax neutral environment, making it very appealing to people of high net worth to seek residency here - a position which is actively encouraged by the local government and, as a British Overseas Territory, is a very stable option.

There are a number of destinations in the world that are able to offer offshore status to a greater or lesser degree but the Cayman Islands have no local taxes whatsoever: no property tax, no income tax, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax.
